--Reminder: Beginning with the end in mind--our ultimate purpose when completing a first-draft "reading" and closely re-reading sections of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet:

ROUGH End-of-Unit Assessment Writing Prompt:
Write a multi-paragraph essay in which you argue the extent to which both Romeo and Juliet are impulsive by analyzing their behaviors during similar circumstances.  Then, answer the "so what" question: So what?!  Who cares?!  Why does this matter?!

--pronounce each of the Unit #5 vocabulary words (pages 62-64) and briefly look at definitions/synonyms/antonyms

In order to actively engage, a student should...

• put a star next to each of the words that he or she is confident about knowing already
• put a question mark next to each of the words that are "foreign" to him or her (and, therefore, will definitely need to be studied)

--reflect upon your performance on the Unit #4 vocabulary quiz one last time; then, put the quiz back in the black basket on the front table
